Not sure about the colour scheme (makes it look like a 140mph Eurocamp tent!!!) but it looks like it means business!!!

Anyone any thoughts?

That looks mean, can I have a replica please VX!!

At least it looks like they have used the vxr rear bumper insert

I saw it when I was at VXR on Saturday - they were loading one on the van and the other was having its wheels put on so it oculd also be loaded on the van.

Looks and sounds amazing.

If I could afford to insure one - i.e. with the mods, I'd Start tomorrow...lol who needs seats for passengers.

Does anyone Know if they are FWD or RWD?

FWD matey. Rules say they have to be the same as the road car.

Looks a bit restricted on air flow, I would have thought they would need more cooling than standard?

Takes me back to 84 when the Vx dealer I was working at had a fleet of ex Marlbro Astra's to dispose of, all painter in white and red/orange, I don't think they were actual rally cars, but staff transport.
